It might seem like bad news but it's actually good news.
Due to the Code of Conduct Assets Declaration loads of officers would even voluntarily resign .
Corruption in Customs is too much to be frank.
Imagine traveling outside London and you are to be screened by them at the airport, the way they beg for money from passengers is quite embarassing.
I think there needs to be reorientation aswell as retraining of officers.
In the light of it maybe when they resign there would be job openings for patriotic Nigerians who would appreciate the role better.

During the early days when the prayer was instituted, they would shout out to each other during the prayer, ‘how far are you? How many cycles/rakats have you completed’. Men would wink at women and even grab them. It was the Prophets wife, Safiyyah (the daughter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, chief of the Banu Nadir) who complained to the Prophet because some of the Bedouins would wink and grabbed the ladies during Salah. This was the reason for the prophet (peace be upon him) saying, ‘Men should stand in front during prayer and females should stand at the back, while children are in between’.

The reason for this is twofold,

a) Men were not disciplined and b) Women were disciplined.

For some strange reason we tend to believe that woman at the back in prayer means they are lower and less deserving and men have power. If you think about it, when we were younger and in school, the disciplined students would sit at the back while those who were a bit rowdy would sit right in front.

Initially, at the Masjid al-Nabawi, men and women would enter the mosque through the same door. When this caused overcrowding on entrances and exits, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said ‘It would be better if this door (in the Holy City) is left for women.’

Upon saying so, the men made that door for women, and it became known up until today as “The Women’s Door” or Bab al-Nisa.

Praise be to Allaah.
We have already listed some of the evil consequences that result from drinking alcohol, which are the reason why drinking it is absolutely forbidden in the religion of Allaah. See for example question no 40882.

But the questioner – may Allaah guide us and him to knowledge of the truth – thinks that the prohibition on alcohol in this world, and the promise to the believers that they will enjoy it in Paradise, is a contradiction or fault in the religion of Allaah, or at best he is confused by this.

Allaah forbid that there should be any contradiction in his Book or His laws, for He is the All-Knowing, All-Wise, All-Aware. Contradictions come from others, not from Him, may He be exalted. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Do they not then consider the Qur’aan carefully? Had it been from other than Allaah, they would surely, have found therein many a contradiction”

[al-Nisa’ 4:82]

Contradictions come from human beings when they try to criticize the revealed words, and from their misunderstanding when they fail to grasp the intended meaning or the wisdom behind the words.

The Book of Allaah is protected by Him, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’aan) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)”

[al-Hijr 15:9].

With regard to other books (scriptures), Allaah has not guaranteed to preserve them, rather He commanded their people to guard them, but they altered them and changed them, so no one longer has any doubt that they have been changed from the form in which Allaah revealed them. Indeed anyone among the people of these Books who has the slightest knowledge does not claim that this is how they were revealed from God or that the Messiah conveyed them like this during his lifetime. See question no. 47516.

Now let us return to the question and ask the questioner:

Are you objecting to the prohibition on alcohol in this world? Do you want it to be permitted as it will be a delight for the people of Paradise? In that case we ask you: Wasn’t alcohol forbidden in your holy Book, and is that not mentioned repeatedly in the Old Testament in which you believe? If you do not know about that, then listen:

“Woe to those who are champions at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks”

Isaiah 5:22 (New International Version)

“Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor”

Proverbs 23:20-21 (New International Version)

“Then the LORD said to Aaron: ‘You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You must distinguish between the holy and the profane, between the unclean and the clean.’”

Leviticus 10:8-10 (New International Version)

This is sufficient evidence for anyone who is wise; as for discussing these verses in detail, we do not have room to do so here.

Even in the New Testament of your holy Book, there remain some verses which point to that:

“But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, and idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard of a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.”

1 Corinthians 5:11 (New International Version)

“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of Gos.”

1 Corinthians 9:9-10 (New International Version)

“Do not get drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”

Ephesians 5:18 (New International Version)

And there any many similar verses.

“Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?”

[al-Rahmaan 55:13]

If you claim, as you do, that this prohibition was abrogated and that it became permissible for you, then why do you object to the idea that the Qur’aan abrogated that permission and that Allaah has forbidden it to people in this world?

Or are you objecting to the fact that it will become a delight in the Hereafter after it was forbidden in this world? Do you want it to be forbidden in both realms?

In that case, it remains for us to ask you: if you accept that the prohibition of alcohol in this world was abrogated, so it became permissible – as you claim – then is it not more appropriate that you should accept that in the Hereafter? Even though the Hereafter is not a place of obligations, rather it is the place of delight for the people of Paradise and the torment of Hell for the people of the Fire.

But we say this simply for the sake of argument, to show to him that he was being fair to his opponent when he did not look at what he has (in the Bible).

But if the questioner really wants to know the truth, then the truth is simpler than that, for it is light, and in that case we say to him:

Allaah has forbidden alcohol because it is an evil abomination, of the Devil’s handiwork; it destroys the mind of the one who drinks it and distracts him from worshipping and obeying Allaah, and leads him to disobey Him, and it generates enmity and hatred in the hearts of the believers. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

91. Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As‑Salaah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90-91]

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every intoxicant is khamr and all khamr is haraam.” Saheeh Muslim, 2003.

This is what it says in your holy Book:

“Then the LORD said to Aaron: ‘You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink ... You must distinguish between the holy and the profane, between the unclean and the clean.’”

Leviticus 10:8-10 (New International Version)

As for the wine of the Hereafter, it is delightful and is free of all the filth and impurities of worldly wine. Paradise is the abode of the good and pure, and there is nothing in it but good things. Our Lord says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine —

46. White, delicious to the drinkers.

47. Neither will they have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) from that nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom”

[al-Saaffaat 37:45-47]

They will not suffer any kind of hurt, pain, or headaches, and it will not destroy their wealth.

The wine of the Hereafter bears no resemblance to the wine of this world except in name. As for its real nature, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it entered the heart of man. Our Lord says (interpretation of the meaning):

“No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do”

[al-Sajdah 32:17]

The one who contaminate himself with the wine of this world deserves to be denied the wine of the Hereafter. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every intoxicant is khamr and every intoxicant is haraam. Whoever drinks wine in this world and dies having persisted in drinking it and not having repented, will never drink it in the Hereafter.”

Saheeh Muslim, 2003.

We ask Allaah to guide you to the truth and help you to give up specious arguments.

Even Standards organisation of Nigeria officers are asked to declare their assets.
I think is all government officials.

obialinaeze:
if they are not muslim, who are they?

Like the ministerial nominee said during his screening if you are a Christian and you visit babalawo you are not a true Christian.
These people might be muslims by name but they do not follow the teachings of islam.
Like why would a true muslim bomb mosques and kill their fellow muslim?
It's a complicated issue that only God will save us.

Jazakallahu khairan

The Boko Haram sect is a collection of misguided unbelievers who claim to be muslims. Killing of innocent human beings without any justified reason is forbidden in any religion.
Illiteracy in conjuction with brainwashing some individuals has escalated in making them kill innocent individuals.
Killing of innocent people shouting "Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) " isnt just sensible to me and other right thinking individuals. They don't know what they are fighting for.
We all have a war at hand cause the situation. This is a war both Muslims, Christians, and Atheist need to take seriously. Them being is the North today means they are closer to us than we think.
Notify the necessary authorities if you feel/think anyone has the link with Boko Haram sect or is behaving suspicious.
The government alone can't fight terrorism. These individuals are someone's neighbour and family members.
The government also need to create opportunity for quality affordable education and job creation for her citizen.
May God help us win the war against these evil demons, protect us from all evil and forgive the soul of the departed.

God win

Orobo2Lekpa:
Teacher flogged someone to death and you say its quite unfortunate for the teacher
If the teacher is unfortunate what will you say about the parent of the dead student?

Read the details.
The principal instructed the teacher to flog the student.
Teacher can't disobey the principal cause he acted on directive
I know the principal for her being quite wicked so perhaps you don't understand

I was suprised aswell when they gave me Chilled Malta Guiness in the traffic along Osborne road this morning.
The light skinned girl said l: Start your day with a smile .
Nice concept.
Waiting for when Apple products would do their own

I served at that school during my nysc.
The woman principal is very mean I'll say. Its quite unfortunate for that teacher.

Mr man go and park somewhere.
We have had enough bad government for years.
Nigerians are wiser now. If he doesn't lead us we'll we would not vote for him in the next election. But we are not loosing hope yet.

Are you sure you know your Arab slave-master religion very well, check the image below

Mr ghostofsparta I believe you must be a Christian. And Jesus instructed people not to fornicate.
If you fornicate and people catch you is it Jesus you would blame or yourself?
Same as the Boko Haram , ISIS etc they are doing things God doesn't approve.

The Quran is addressed to all of mankind and you cannot fully understand some verses until you read the Hadith which explains what God meant in the verse.

amusadele:
which religion does Buhari belong to? Compare the chatacteristics of Islam with Buhari who find it very simple to undermine others and regard others as nothing, is enough reasons to say Buhari is Islam and Islam is boko haram. Therefore Buhari is boko haram. They both serves one god, which is Islam

I know you have muslim friends and relatives. Go and compare their characteristics with that of Boko Haram. Thank you.

walozanga:
Who said they represented Islam here. Are u having guilty conscience?

Guilty concience? Mr man please educate yourself. I have a right to comment on a thread and you have a right to read and ignore my comment if you have nothing positive to say.

I said Boko Haram don't represent anything, even islam that they claim to represent is saying they don't represent them.
Is the statement too complex to understand?

Evaromantik:

is there anything like jihad in your islam?........the ISIS,ISIL,AL SHABBAB aren't they representing Islam too?
.

ISLAMABAD

I have voiced the reality whether you don't understand what I said is your problem.

God told both Muslims and Christians not to lie, commit adultry, backbite etc. That most people do it doesn't mean that God allowed them to do it.

The issue of Jihad is complex and we have Internet available. Read up on it and educate yourself. Cause ignorance does more evil than good

I stand on my point I'm a muslim and islam doesn't condone terrorism.

likila:
you get sense at all?

Your comment is irrelevant. Next!

The Boko Haram do not represent anything and they definitely don't know what they are killing for.
They can never represent Islam if that is what they claim cause killing of innocent is forbidden in islam.
They are blood thirsty evil people.
May God bless Nigeria and protect us from all their evil plots.

Security is pressing than corruption for now.

His step is nice but should not let other sectors in limbo. Our economy is currently nosediving.

Corruption amongst the military had indered purchase of arms.
Corruption amongst the military had indered some soldiers getting their entitlementsite which boost their morale.

It's all interlinked tbh.

Corruption, insecurity and unemployment

nationwide1:
I'm 100 % for war against corruption but Buhari should not only focus on corruption.

Corruption is the root of all evils in this country. If he tackles it well he can address other issues to the best of his ability

Indeed after every hardship comes ease.
Now that's a land with law.
May Allah forgive the sins of the departed that died on a blessed day, blessed hour and blessed land in a blessed month and grant them Jannah.
May Allah comfort the families they left behind. Even though no money can solve the pain but, it would go a long way in easing the pain and making them happy.
It's an honour to be a guest of Allah.
Many Muslims wish to be in the position of those that died.
May Allah make our ending a good one.
